The Genuine Contact Way offers 19 learning modules organized into five learning paths. You can explore individual modules based on specific interests or challenges you're facing, or follow a complete learning path for comprehensive development in a focused area.
How the Modules Work
Each module is a complete learning experience that provides practical tools and frameworks you can use immediately. The modules use participatory, whole-person approaches that engage your mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual intelligence. Rather than lectures, you'll work with real scenarios, develop plans for your own context, and learn alongside peers from around the world.
Learning follows the Evolutionary Spiral framework, guiding you through six phases: discernment, readiness, engagement, construction, implementation, and monitoring and adjustment. This approach supports you to integrate what you're learning and apply it in your own work.
Modules include self-study materials you complete at your own pace, real-time workshops offered both in-person and online, and opportunities for ongoing peer learning through facilitated mentoring circles.
Learning Progression
The modules are organized into three levels that reflect depth and prerequisites:
Start – These modules have no prerequisites and provide accessible entry points to the Genuine Contact Way. Each offers practical tools you can use immediately.
Grow – These modules build on foundational learning and may have one or two prerequisites. They deepen specific skills and expand your capacity to work with complexity.
Deepen – These modules may require several prerequisites and offer intensive exploration of advanced topics, preparing you to work at the organizational systems level or train others.
